The giveaway will be at 4pm, but if you miss out you will only have to wait until Thursday November 8 to buy one as the long-awaited festive bake goes on sale.

The Christmas pasty is made of chicken breast, sage and onion stuffing and bacon in a creamy sage and cranberry sauce all wrapped in golden puff pastry which tastes like Christmas and costs from £1.50.

For many, the arrival of the Festive Bake at Greggs is eagerly awaited and a symbol that the holiday season is officially underway.

Festive Bake fans have been counting down to its return, right down to the second, at the iconic product’s official website isthefestivebakeoutyet.com.
